slacker Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 I am having trouble figuring out how to create a 7zip archive that automatically extracts the files to a temp directory and executes my setup.exe.Ideally this is what I want to happen...1-Create a self extracting archive that extracts my files to a temp folder.2-run setup.exe in that temp directory.3-delete temp files after setup completesI assume somebody has already covered this topic but I'm getting a little frustrated trying to find it so if anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Slacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 For me, I use Winrar self-extracted archive, and it do this :-> Decompresse the RAR into temp directory-> Execute the file from the temp directory-> Delete temp directoryAnd I remember 7zip do the same.That's your question ?

slacker Posted April 22, 2005 Author Share Posted April 22, 2005 Yes, that is what I am trying to do. What options do you use in Winrar to do that. When I tried it, it would ask me where to extract the files to.I would like to use 7zip to do this if anyone knows what options I need to use.Thanks,Slacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
